Name That Site 6

I was checking out my site today, replacing a few images that went missing in the Great Crash of Aught Six and it got me thinking about my Name That Site series. I haven't done one in a while and dammit, it's time. The problem was what to pick? I needed a good one. A hard one.

I think I found it.

The pic below, as always, is a landmark with some critical ACC history. Some have been current football stadiums or basketball arenas. Others have been sites critical to an ACC national championship. Can you figure out what this is? (click the pic for a larger view)

Name That Site 6

If you think you know the answer, leave it in the Comments. Also, feel free to go back to one of the previous contests (one, two, three, four, five) and have a guess at those. Since I lost all of my comments, those contests were all wiped clean. You can look like a genius!

Well, it appears to be a golf course, and what golf course would be more important than that of which Virginia Tech's inclusion sprang from? Wait, you mean things happened in the ACC before the new adoptees were included?

The name of such a place, so I will go with the generic Greensboro C.C.

Yes, it is on a golf course and you've got the right idea (generally), but not the right place or event.

It's Sedgefield, the birthplace of the ACC

I was joking, I was going for the ACC founding, not the stepson adoption. But I thought they happened at the same place.

And I meant to the say the name of the place "escapes me", so would guess G.C.C., but I apparently forgot to go and correct it.

We have a weeeenah! (J. Jones gets partial credit)

The original ACC members signed the charter at the Sedgefield Inn just outside of Greensboro in May, 1953. The Inn was later purchased by the Sedgefield Country Club, so I don't think it's actually an Inn anymore.

The ACC came back to the Inn just seven months later and added Virginia to the conference.
